If you're using Windows XP, then yes you can do it like you said, right-click and SEND TO D. If you're using anything prior to XP, you can install packet software that will allow you do something like this (if not exactly like this). Like you said, if you're using XP, no you don't need any other software. But, independant software will sport features that the standard XP burning app doesn't have. So, it really depends on what you want to do. Also, if you have XP and your son does not, the above method might not work for you. You can burn to the CD, but your son won't necessarily be able to read the CD. What operating systems are you and your son using? ---Troth ----- Original Message ----- From: Joyce To: pctechtalk Sent: Thursday, September 11, 2003 11:10 PM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Burning to CD I have used floppies mostly but now have a CD burner. I recently purchased my first digital camera and a new photo printer so I am learning lots of new stuff. I have pictures on my hard drive that I want to copy to CD, one to send to my son and one to keep. My question is: Can I simply right click on the folder containing the pictures and choose send to D drive? If it is that simple why do I need software? I have Adaptec Easy CD Creator 4. Need a short course in CD Burning 101!
